A Brief History of LabCFD

Prof. Ricardo de Andrade Medronho started working with CFD in his stay as a visiting researcher at the German Center for Biotechnology (GBF - Gesellschaft für Biotechnologische Forschung) between 1998 and 2000. Upon returning to Brazil in 2001, he obtained a small room at the School of Chemistry/UFRJ and there started the first Lab CFD. The first two students of the Lab were Alana Leahy-Dios (currently, Reservoir Engineering Supervisor at ExxonMobil Upstream Oil and Gas, USA) and Sarita Queiroz Simões (currently, Group Training and Competency Manager at TWMA, UK). Thereafter, the Lab CFD began to have more and more students, and had to move to a larger space in the LADEQ (Laboratories of the Chemical Engineering Department building) and, from there, once again expanded its space by moving to the NBPD (Biofuels, Petroleum and its Derivatives Center) of the School of Chemistry/UFRJ, where it remains until today. Just as the Lab CFD area increased, its team restricted initially to Prof. Medronho only also grew and counts today with Prof. Tania Suaiden Klein, Prof. Luiz Fernando Lopes Rodrigues Silva, Prof. Fabio Pereira dos Santos and Prof. Karina Moita de Almeida.

CFD description

Computational Fluid Dynamics is a field of study of great importance not only in all areas of engineering (Aeronautics, Agricultural, Food, Environmental, Biomedical, Civil, Control and Automation, Mining, Electrical, Electronics, Materials, Mechanics, Mechatronics, Metallurgy, Naval, Chemical, Oil and Gas, and so on) as well as in architecture (environmental comfort, natural ventilation by the action of open or confined spaces, and so forth), meteorology (weather forecast, and so on and so forth). By CFD it is possible to obtain numerical solutions, by computational methods, of conservation equations of momentum and mass (equations of motion and continuity, respectively). Depending on the problem under analysis, these equations can eventually be coupled to other conservation equations, such as the energy and concentration equations of a given chemical species.

CFD allows the study of flows that can not be easily measured or simulated experimentally, such as the flow inside cyclones and hydrocyclones, the leakage of toxic or flammable gases in confined or open environments, combustion, oil tanker flows, on risers, on bioreactors and around cars, planes or rockets, the weather forecast, and so on and so forth.

In this way, CFD is, today, an indispensable tool for the researcher and the engineer. The use of CFD allows a drastic reduction in the time required and the cost involved in both the design and the prediction of equipment performance. In addition, the understanding of the fluid dynamics inside the equipment allows a perfect understanding of the phenomena involved, allowing the researcher / engineer to intervene in the operational or design variables in order to improve the performance of these equipments equipamentos.
